It is exactly one month from today on August 10 in upstate NY.

I have no clue WTF I am doing; I've never even been a spectator before.

Ordered an Inzer singlet and new knee wraps and wrist wraps.

My bench press sucks, my squat is OK, my deadlift is mediocre.

I'm fat and old and nervous as ****. LOL.

But I'm gonna do it.

Wish me luck TID!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll do awesome Flex!!

Some pointers. You have 4 weeks, start toning down the training volume a little to make sure you are as close to 100% for meet day as you can be.

Do less sets and work in the 70-80% 1RM range.

Your bench is fine, you just need to learn how to train a bench press. If you want help with it just pm me.

Good luck man, if you get a chance to attend and watch a meet before yours I can highly recommend it. Get used to the commands and start training your lifts the same way as you need to perform them on the day.

Expect surprises on the day but be prepared. All the best, look forward to following your progress buddy MF.

Good luck man, I'm happy for ya. Go to a meet this weekend if you can, it was the best thing for me to learn red light/white light etc, when to release upon command and shit.

Happy for ya man, my first is October, I can't wait.

Thanks for the support guys. I've been putting this off until I get my bench where I want it.

Then I realized that it doesn't matter; I just need to do my first meet and get it over with and the bench will come along.

Mrs. Flex is fully supportive and will be coming with me. Also a guy I've conversed with on another board is attending the same meet and will be guiding me through the process.

Congrats on the decision to do a meet. You'll be changed forever!

Will be following your progress and hope to add some input along the way. Good luck and lift strong.
